  1. He's learned not to go up 5 on the Chiefs late in the game — and that Josh has a better chance of converting fourth and short than the Buffalo D has of stopped the Chiefs get a TD with a couple minutes left. I applaud him for that.

    Aggressive, as it's been pointed out, counts for more than just 4th down offensive decisions. The Bills upped their man coverage % against the Chiefs so that's another "aggressive" decision that doesn't get a lot of talk. I hope, where it makes sense, we play aggressive D. Especially in the playoffs.

    So far, this season, so good...

    Not sure if Shakir is the BEST slot WR in the NFL (Detroit has a dude who's effectively their WR1 from the slot, mostly), and DEF don't think Cook is a priority re-sign, despite how dang special he is at beating angles and stealing yards. 

     

    Shakir is pretty damn good and will set the Bills' record for slot yards in a season (and don't say it's because it's a 17-game season as he already missed a game. Also...

     

    "The Bills’ slot receiver ranks No. 2 in the NFL in yards after the catch with 462, behind only Cincinnati’s Ja’Marr Chase, who has 489, according to Pro Football Focus."

  3. I'm pretty sure we're better off with this years WRs (Cooper, Shakir, Coleman, Samuel) than last year's WRs (Diggs, Davis, Shakir, Sherfield).

    I'm pretty sure the Bills don't need and I don't miss Diggs' thinly veiled petulance and constant drama.

     

    I'm pretty sure Cooper and Samuel and the current guys are far more team oriented than Steph was or will ever be.

    I'm pretty sure Josh has grown into the bona fide leader now that Steph is gone and he doesn't have to worry about feeding an aging diva who doesn't produce in the playoffs.

  4. I'd like O-line depth/future starter, a speed outside WR as depth/future starter/possible starter if we don't resign Cooper, and another RB as I don't want to pay Cook what the market will command.

     

    On D, CB, edge rusher, 1 tech. Maybe safety. Whatever's best value where we are.

    ESPN BET which is basically ESPN+$+$.

     

     

    Rex Ryan: "44% of the time he runs as a ball carrier he's run for first downs. There's no player in the history of the National Football League that can say that. Only Josh Allen."

    Did not know that. Yet another incredible stat. Gives more context to Rex's comments about "best football player."

  6. Good to see he was very humble and team oriented in the post-game presser, saying "watch out when everyone comes back..." Not every WR (cough, Steph, cough) would have that attitude of team first when the season hasn't gone their way after so many games. 

    Hopefully Brady can use him a lot more and we've got some WR depth going forward.

  7. I told myself this game didn't mean anything, even if we won, but I was wrong. Eric Wood said, and I agree, it gives the Bills a little more confidence when we meet them in the playoffs. Yes, we've won the past three years in the regular season but don't tell me that losing in the regular season to the Chiefs is the answer to beating them in the playoffs.


    I'm so happy I'm gonna get drunk on a Sunday night and celebrate with the good ladies of Xhamster!

    I think the maturity we have seen from Josh this year has been really impressive. I'm not sure it has always been a strength of his, but the past year we have really seen that growth.

    I think he's embraced — and seized — being the leader after the departure of Steph. I think Steph acted like the alpha when he was here and Josh wasn't, at the time, comfortable asserting himself as the absolute leader. Maybe it's a coincidence but if Steph leaving aided Josh in becoming a more mature leader that was worth the cost of the dead cap.

  9. I know I'm supposed to never feel good about an injury but this pleases me. (As long as an injury isn't to the head or career-ending, I can appreciate them to the competition; the Bills have had a ton so I prefer a more level playing field.)

    Call me crazy, I honestly think the Chiefs will not give us their best. The notion we will roll them in the season and lose in the playoffs has become a punchline w them. 

     

    I don't think they are going to show us all they have. 

     

    My thoughts are at home, reg season , the Bills will win. 

    Scheme-wise, I could see Reid not showing the Bills much of what he'll do in the playoffs.

    But I think they try to win every game and those evil ba$tards have their sights set on a perfect season and Championship. That would make me puke.

  11. Really like Marino but why doesn't LOB have game clips? It would massively upgrade an already great podcast.

    Is it a money thing, where Joe can't afford the rights or something? Or conversely, is it that he saves those game clips for his paid members?

    At first I was like, I can't listen to 35 minutes of talk with no game footage but I grew to appreciate Joe's insights.
